Chapter 180: Is 30 taels of silver not a small amount? Ding Yuehua looked at her intently for a while before sighing deeply. "I didn't expect Miss Lu to be so insightful. Compared to you, the Jiang family's perspective is narrow and foolish." Shu Yu intended to steer the conversation towards the Jiang family, and as expected, it went as she had hoped. "The Jiang family," Shu Yu sighed. "I didn't expect them to act so recklessly without thinking. They made such a big fuss, causing chaos throughout the city and even driving the third young lady of the prefectural magistrate's residence to the point of wanting to take her own life to preserve her dignity. Originally, I thought of asking Miss Ding to help me promote my shop. I just opened it, and I wished that all the women in this city would become my customers. But now, upon hearing about this incident, I feel that I should keep my distance from the women of the Jiang family." Little did she know that Ding Yuehua had a different opinion upon hearing her words. "It's true that the Jiang family is difficult to get along with, but not everyone is troublesome. The second branch of the Jiang family, in fact, has decent people. They are simply not favored within the family. When the third young master of the Jiang family was engaged to our family, the original intention was..." She paused for a moment, hesitated briefly, and then continued, "To be honest with you, initially, our family was supposed to be the match for the Jiang family. However, I am plain-looking, and the third young master of the Jiang family was not interested. He became fond of my younger sister instead." This incident made her parents very angry, especially her mother, who thought that the Jiang family was simply insane to reject a legitimate daughter for a concubine-born one. However, through this incident, Madam Ding came to understand that Young Master Jiang was a spoiled and willful person, even indulging himself in matters like this without considering others. He was definitely not a suitable match. Since the Ding family was destined to be connected with the Jiang family, Madam Ding didn't see any problem with sending a concubine-born daughter to marry there. However, this incident dealt a heavy blow to Ding Yuehua's already low self-confidence, making her care even more about her appearance. "Although the Ding family and the Jiang family eventually reached an agreement on the marriage, it was not a pleasant experience. The others in the Jiang family didn't mind, and some even thought that the legitimate young master had suffered a loss by marrying a concubine-born young lady. But they never considered that it was their third young master's own request. Only the couple from the second branch strongly opposed it. In order to convince the elders of the Jiang family, the second branch, who was already disliked by them, was ultimately expelled from the family." Shu Yu's hand paused. The Jiang family would surely regret it. Deng Shi, the wife of the second branch, would soon reunite with the wife of the Vice Minister of Justice. At that time, wouldn't the Jiang family regret their decision? Ding Yuehua said, "Life has been quite difficult for the second branch since they were expelled. They were only given a liquor shop, working from dawn to dusk, and they barely earn less than 30 taels of silver a month." Shu Yu replied, "...You call 30 taels of silver difficult?" She was now certain that Ding Yuehua was a wealthy person. She had definitely suffered a huge loss by not accepting her silver last time. The maid behind them widened her eyes, thinking, "Is 30 taels of silver really that much?" Ding Yuehua was unaware of the inner thoughts of the two individuals, and she felt somewhat emotional. ''But I have visited the wine shop in the Second Residence a few times and have become acquainted with the Deng family. Gradually, we've developed some interaction. Deng is a good person; next time, I can introduce you to each other.'' Shu Yu, '...' There was no need for her to say anything; it was already presented to her doorstep. She nodded with a smile, ''Okay.'' While speaking, she put down her hand and asked, ''Is it done? Take a look.'' Ding Yuehua hesitated for a moment, then raised her head to look at the bronze mirror. In the next moment, her eyes widened suddenly. ''This... is me?'' (End of this chapter)
